'We never know the love of the parent until we become parents ourselves.'
Inspirational Quotes on Mothers Day by: Henry Ward Beecher
Well, I'm back in Penang yesterday. Called up my best friend's boyfriend(Alla has a bf..at last) on plans for Hari Raya Puasa. Well, its like 3 months away and everything has to be well plan. Chit chat a little bit with daddy yesterday. It feels like ages since me, adik and daddy can have a good chat. We giggle, played piano while Dianah pluck her guitar to the song of I Will Be by Leona Lewis and Just A Dream by Carrie Underwood... it was fun since the very last time I played on the piano. Adik is getting better and her piano in June 15th. Wish her best of luck. I remembered when I was like the age of 4, mummy would pick me up from school, piggy back me and walked for miles until we reach my music center. My mum would cook food worry that I might go hungry. She'll stay with until the end of my lesson. To be honest, I lead a very low life when I was small but my parents worked to their bones to give me the best in almost everything. They tried and I can say that they are the people that I should be proud despite of what the family have gone through all these years. It was painful. Daddy struggled so hard to give whatever he can for the family. Being away from the family and not being able to be there on special ocassion is not something that people would want but he sacrifised all that for the sake of his family's comfort. Birthday wishes through the phone calls and cards from the family has been a norm for him.
In his heart, I knew that the only birthday gift that he ever wanted was to be with the family again. Going for breakfast on weekend, family holiday and so on. I never believed when people say, their parent don't care about them. Parents have a very odd ways of showing how much they love you. They are not good in putting it into words but I can bet you, they're good in showing it through actions. Even though they never say' I love you' for as long as you remember living with them, that does not mean they don't care about you. Whenever my parents scolded me back in time, I always though that I might be a foster child but it all change after I moved to Penang for my studies. After being far away from the family, I soon realised that I missed them everyday. When I was still in my hometown, always hoping that I can stay on my own. The advantages of having a father that works in oversea is, you got the chance to travel and it made me think how lucky I am compared to those people who does not even know who their parents are as being away in Foster House since birth. Some begging for food and money just live a day.
We'll never appreciate what we have until we lose it.....
